do a search for replacing mirrors - this thread comes up all the time, and there's tons of info on it here already 
Its a good swap. I went from the paddle mirrors to heat and power move tow mirrors (no running lights though)

Hi Stouttrout,
I did not pick out what year X you had. I have changed the mirrors on my '01 X. They were a direct bolt in swap with the '03 that I wanted. HOWEVER, the wiring harness was different. In order for my turn signals to work with the running lights, that was the part that needed patience. My '01 just had the small mirrors with the turn signals only. I wanted to have telescoping mirrors with the built in turn signal and marker lights. That is why I chose the '03. If you choose factory parts (I did), they will bolt right in. But it will depend what you want your mirrors for. I couldn't see around the trailer, I felt that I didn't have a choice.
Good Luck, Gary

Thanks for all the info. I am going to go Junk Yarding this week to find what I am looking for. nah2osurfer, That is exactly why I want them. I will be pulling a 20 carhauler with a Jeep on it from time to time and a Travel trailer. The extension Mirrors on my '06 F250 are very nice to have and huge in comparison.
